I think I’m correctly interpreting the effective meaning of the comic. The effective meaning takes precedent over the intended meaning. Now that you know my view, do you think everyone’s response to my take is justified? It’s pretty demoralizing how readily everyone assumes the least charitable interpretation of my words when there is any level of ambiguity. Nobody ever asks me to clarify. It’s just a fucking dogpile right out the gate because this whole charade of “discourse” is a dopamine-seeking frenzy dressed up as intellectualism.
Well, based on that logic then the response is right in line, considering that the effective meaning of your comment happened to be the least charitable interpretation.
Either that or you’re wrong in your concept of “the effective meaning takes precedent over the intended meaning.” You can’t have it both ways.
